Begonia Culture Last season was particularly good for begonias, one

of the most delightful colour and beauty factors in any flower garden. If you are fortunate enough to own a greenhouse where a fifty-five-degrees temperature can be-maintained, blooms for an early and long display can be ensured now by preparing deep seed-trays and putt:ng in tubers. Good drainage is essential. Put in a layer of moistened peat moss, and place the tubers shoulder to shoulder, covering them with another layer of peat. Keep the trays just moist until growth appear.
